“A stranger came out to White Acre one day to sell Henry a pony, for Alma to learn to ride. The pony's name was Soames, and he was the color of sugar icing, and Alma loved him immediately. A price was negotiated. The two men settled on three dollars. Alma, who was only six years old, asked, "Excuse me, sir, but does that price also include the bridle and saddle which the pony is currently wearing?"
The stranger balked at the question, but Henry roared with laughter. "She's got you there, man!" he bellowed, and for the rest of that day, he ruffled Alma's hair whenever she came nearer, saying, "What a good little auctioneer I've got as a daughter!”

“The Cubs are a major league baseball team based in Chicago. Apparently, the team was once cursed by a goat and is doomed now to never win the World Series. The 71 seats [auctioned by the Chicago Board of Exchange] are adjacent to the Cubs' dugout on the third-base line. This is an unnecessary detail needed to give color to what would otherwise be a dull and uninspiring narrative.”

“The world is an auction house where every person becomes a victim of the auction.”

“Fair Warning by Stewart Stafford

Sheer Heart Attack!
The auctioneer's hammer fell,
On Freddie's exquisite clutter,
The room officially rocked.

The last item of King Mercury,
Sold to the highest bidder,
In the room and online,
No Kensington Pyramid, though.

Seven Seas of Rhye claimed,
The Killer Queen laid to rest,
A throne in flux, vacated,
Champion bids will out, darling!
